Older brother is nine, easy going and very laid back/obedient. Sister is well, very giddy, much more headstrong, half his size and still very much learning.
Up to recently and when out, I have walked them on separate leads, but with the hand end fastened together, so I can hold them single handed - which means they tangle themselves up and often me too.
Yesterday, I got the bright idea to try hooking one lead onto the end of the other, making a double length lead, then passing the metal catch straight through the hook on her coller, on and through to his coller. The pair now walk side by side, with much less tangle and if she stops she just slides back along the lead to me. This is in the country, with no one about. I'm just wondering whether this might also work in busier environments? Both are inclined to go for other dogs, if they prove nasty towards them.
